Answer:

  (a)  1024 ways

  (b)  243 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When answers are independent, the total number of ways all questions can be answered is the product of the number of ways each question can be answered.

__

<h3>(a)</h3>

The first question can have one answer 4 ways. The second question can be answered 4 ways for each of the ways the first question was answered. That is, the two questions can be answered 4×4 = 16 ways. Similarly, each additional question multiplies the number of ways the questions can be answered by 4.

The 5 questions can be answered 4×4×4×4×4 = 4^5 = 1024 ways.

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

There are 3 ways to answer the first question incorrectly. Each additional question can be answered incorrectly 3 ways for each of the ways previous questions were answered. The total number of ways all questions can be answered incorrectly is ...

  3^5 = 243

A student can answer all questions wrong in 243 different ways.

Which statements are true about exponential decay functions? Check all that apply. The domain is all real numbers. As the input
lorasvet [3.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct options are:

  • The domain is all real numbers.
  • The base must be less than 1 and greater than 0.
  • The function has a constant multiplicative rate of change.
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that the exponential function is given by:

                f(x)=ab^x

where a>0 and b are constants.

Also, it represents a growth function if b>1

and a decay function if 0<b<1

where b is the base.

  • x belongs to whole of the real numbers( since the exponential function is well defined for all the real values of x.

Hence, the domain of the function is all the real numbers )

  • Also, the graph of a decay function decreases continuously i.e. with the increasing input value the output value decreases.
  • The exponential decay function always have a constant multiplicative rate of change i.e. b.
